KEATING LAURIE 4

What Happened

• Laurie Keating, a member of PepGen Inc.'s Board of Directors, was granted a derivative award on 2026-06-18 covering 34,000 shares. The grant shows an acquisition at $0.00 per share (no cash paid at grant) and is reported as a derivative (option/award), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-18; Filing date (Form 4): 2026-06-22.
• Type: Grant/Award (transaction code A) — derivative award covering 34,000 shares at $0.00.
• Reported value at grant: $0 (no cash paid at time of grant).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Vesting (footnote): The option vests in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant or (ii) the next Annual Meeting; vesting stops if the director leaves, unless the Board decides otherwise.
• Timeliness: Filing appears to be after the transaction date (filed four days later); insiders generally must file Form 4 within two business days, so this may be a late filing.

Context

• This is a grant of a derivative award (an option-like award) that is subject to future vesting. Keating does not immediately receive tradable shares; ownership or ability to sell depends on vesting and any subsequent exercise events. Such awards are commonly used for director compensation and do not by themselves indicate immediate buying or selling activity.
